Question: My wireless computers won't connect to 3com router?

(Posted by: Pixiesan on 2010-03-10 11:18:20)

I have two computers and an iPhone 3G. One of my computers has been connected to my 3COM router for months with no problem and yesterday I found that it couldn't even find the router...along with this, my iPhone couldn't find it either. However, my HP laptop that is directly connected to the router is working perfectly. In an effort to fix the problem, my mother reset it to the factory settings and now I'm not entirely sure how to reinstall it and to top it all off nobody knows where the help guide went (although, my 3- year- old nephew might have had something to do with the missing manual...) And, the icing on the cake, we can't get ahold of the people we know and trust to install everything on our system. If anybody can still help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Serious its simple. Wifi is not enabled of course the router will continue to work with direct connection with hardwired because its hardwired it isn't receiving a signal. resetting the router by default automatically turns off the wireless internet. you have to type in the routers ip address into a browser like internet explorer where you search the web if it finds it the router has a log in or interface to change everything. Problem is different router use different ips look up the manual online its there with the company you have and they can help you best.
